Hydrogen has gained global recognition as a crucial energy resource, holding immense potential to offer clean, efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly energy solutions. Through water electrolysis powered by green electricity, the production of decarbonized “green hydrogen” is achievable. Hydrogen technology emerges as a key pathway for realizing the global objective of “carbon neutrality.” Among various water electrolysis technologies, proton exchange membrane water electrolysis (PEMWE) stands out as exceptionally promising. It boasts high energy density, elevated electrolysis efficiency, and the capacity for high output pressure, making it a frontrunner in the quest for sustainable hydrogen production.
The Application of Proton Exchange Membrane Water Electrolysis delves into the challenges and trends ahead of PEMWE—from fundamental research to practical application—and briefly describes its relative characteristics, key components, and future targets. The cost-effectiveness of PEMWE is illustrated and the report explores the potential for deeper integration into various industries, such as renewable energy consumption and hydrogen for industrial purposes. It further points the current trends, concluding with a series of recommendations for consideration by government, industry stakeholders, and researchers.
